Is there anything more romantic than standing on a beach, holding hands and watch the sun set? It is so quiet and serene that you feel you are the only two souls in this universe, lost in each other so deeply. The gentle wind rustles through your hair making you feel so light that you might float around. As the last rays of the sun dies down in the ocean, you can hear your hearts whispering to each other – “You are mine”

 Poovar Beach and Island


Wake up in a floating cottage to the lullaby of the gentle waves and the distant roar of the might ocean.  Was it your pre-nuptial dream to get away to a serene island and set up a small house just for the two of you? Nothing can take you closer to your dream than a honeymoon on the Poovar Island.  The highlight of the Poovar island is the boat cruise with a twist, which takes you through the calm waters of the Neyyar river and as you progress, the calmness of the Neyyar dam give way to the ferocious ocean.

  6. Beach destinations are always romantic and are best suited for the honeymooners. Being a beach lover, every month I tour a nearby beach to wind up myself and free from the busy work schedule. Kerala is most probably in every tourist's checklist to travel. It has the famous backwater, captivating beaches, Ayurveda remedy option, and lots of special authentic local dishes. Though I have visited this place several times before, this monsoon I planning to again visit this place.
